Sunflowers Keep the Blues Away

This was really my very first watercolor  in 2016 and I was very pleased with it. It sold to an old high school friend.

Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, 

the cooing of doves is heard in our land.

This is a beautiful, amazing colored pencil of my mom from a photo I took in May 2016. It was done by my best friend from high school, Ann, and she gave it to me as a gift. This colored pencil drawing looks like a photo!

Leo Carrillo Ranch is a hidden little gem buried in suburban Carlsbad. It was once a working ranch and the weekend home of actor Leo Carrillo, best known for his role as sidekick “Pancho” on the television show The Cisco Kid. These were done on location in my watercolor journal.
